Building a Transistor Curve Tracer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/building-transistor-curve-tracer/
paulv @ paulvdiyblogs.net designed and build a transistor curve tracer and documents the process on his personal blog. He writes: It’s not that I use a Curve Tracer that much, but if you want to categorize or really measure the parameters of a discrete component, there is really no other tool that can do the […]
USB Curve Tracer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/usb-curve-tracer/
A small and inexpensive USB-based curve tracer used for troubleshooting electronics in the style of the Huntron Tracker 2000. by Jason Jones: This documents a USB-based curve tracer based on the PIC24FV16KM202, which is a modest 16-bit microcontroller. The board uses a PC screen OR an oscilloscope in XY mode as a display and may […]
DIY Generic Curve Tracer

Stoneslice has shared a Curve Tracer tutorial on Youtube that uses an X Y mode Oscilloscope to test components and their characteristics. Using the on-board Phase Shift Oscillator to provide the test signal, passive and active parts can be tested. These are the components needed to build the project: 1 x NPN Switching Transistor 1 […]
Project curve tracer – progress update
https://www.electronics-lab.com/project-curve-tracer-progress-update/
Jason Jones has been working on a curve tracer project and shows us his June progress: As the hardware is at the point of initial release, but the firmware and GUI aren’t quite there yet, I decided that it would be prudent to split off the firmware and GUI components into their own GIT repositories. […]
Solar Cell IV Curve Tracer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/solar-cell-iv-curve-tracer/
This instructable shows how to build a photovoltaic cell curve tracer using Arduino and OPA549S OPAMPS. This projects shows how to create an IV (Current and Voltage) Tracer that can be used to teach the electrical characteristics of a solar panel. This project was created as part of an Electrical and Computer Engineering capstone project […]
USB curve tracer for NPN transistors
https://www.electronics-lab.com/usb-curve-tracer-npn-transistors/
Dilshan Jayakody documented his USB port base NPN transistor curve tracer project: Curve tracer is an electronic test instrument to analyze the characteristics of transistors and other discrete semiconductors. In this post we construct USB base curve tracer to analyze properties of NPN transistors. This curve tracer is build around Microchip’s PIC18F4550 MCU and it […]
